Fungus Fun in Madisonville
Published Jan 24, 2008

The mushroom capital of Texas?

It is Madisonville.

The city presents an annual Texas Mushroom Festival (Fiesta de Hongos) each October, and the celebration will be observed for the sixth consecutive year in 2008. Local company Monterey Mushrooms conducts growing demonstrations throughout the day as part of the entertainment.

Other festival events include a gala Friday night dinner, a shiitake road run, an auto showcase, cooking demonstrations and an art show.

Area chefs are on hand with several dishes for tasting, and all types of mushrooms can be purchased.

Oh, be sure to try a spicy mushroom fajita when you’re there.
